Steven Christensen, Ph.D.

Steve, the “Master Mind” of UnixPackages, has been the driving technical force behind creating reliable pre-built UNIX packages since 1986. As the founder of Sunfreeware, Steve has literally saved UNIX sys admins and users millions of hours of work.

In his other life, Steve can be found moderating the Mathematica Community web site, supporting his MathTensor tensor analysis system, and he is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he does research in gravitation and quantum field theory. For example, Hawking Radiation. He is also a very avid amateur astrophotographer. See this Flickr page for his work.

Colin Prior

Colin the “Oily Rag” of Business Development is an Sun Microsystems alumni having joined them in 1986 where he fulfilled a variety of key technical roles before moving into Customer Service marketing and management. Frighteningly, he still is able to turn his hand at UNIX Admin, just keep him away from MySQL! Colin is responsible for driving new UnixPackages initiatives, its website, and software services.

In his spare time you will find him paddling rivers, sailing his International 470 dingy, or riding his Kawasaki Concours.
